Where Mandu's Art, Architecture and Heritage come together
Through architecture, art, and research, Natu Foundation brings attention to Mandu’s hidden histories and overlooked monuments while nurturing learning and creative practice.
Carrying Mandu’s stories forward
Art
Initiatives such as Beyond, Mandu Prints, and Mandu Elixir translate Mandu’s architectural forms, sculptural references, and cultural motifs into contemporary artistic and craft expressions.
Architecture
Natu Foundation enables immersive learning through study programs, site visits, and interpretation-based engagement, where students, scholars, and visitors experience Mandu as a living architectural classroom.
Heritage
Through long-term on-site research, the Foundation has brought attention to lesser-known histories of Mandu, including Budhi Mandav, Parmar-era Bhumija architecture, and historic water management systems that were previously undocumented.
